The Dalton Gang is a 1949 American Western film starring Don "Red" Barry and Julie Adams.
The is shot and falls from his horse but West interrupts the indians before they can check if the man is dead.
The local newspaper editor, Amos Boling, who has recognized West, is also sworn to secrecy.
Rusty visits J.J. Gorman, president of the land company, who is in fact leader of the Dalton gang.
Gorman tells Blackie to arrange for someone to kill Rusty but to do it in front of enough witnesses to make it look like self-defense.
When Emmett (aka Missouri Ganz) provokes Rusty into a gunfight West kills him even though Blackie drew first.
Rusty visits Blackie in his hotel room and threatens to turn him over to Iharu if he doesn't tell the truth.
The gunshot rouses the gang members in the other rooms and Rusty forces Blackie to leave through the window.
Gorman instructs his men to spread themselves around town to be ready to attack the indians if they turn up.
The sheriff is hit and the gang member killed before Gorman retreats to his office where he hides behind the door.
